[kj] NYC Reviews?

[GREG SLAWSON]

I think the main thing is they assume the fans want to hear all the well known tunes (esp from the 1st album). And the gig goers who aren't very familiar

w/them probably do. They may not realize the loyal fans would love to hear "rare" stuff too. Personally, I was getting tired of the 1st two

albums way back in the 80s--and I'd love to hear more from Revelations, Fire Dances, and even Pandemonium and Hosannas...

They did do king and queens on pandemonium tour. 
Devils advocate here. 
They toured the shit out of extremities before and after the album came out. So maybe they're sick of it. 
I took would like stuff off of revelations. 
Don't really care about wardance much anymore. Requiem still gives me chills. I still live the guitar and keyboard riff. I'm glad they arenfinally easing up on pandemonium. I liked 2003 so id prefer  something other then asteroid. Hell give me one song off of hosannas just because we never got it in the states. 


Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. But beggars can be gatherers.

It kind of pisses me off that they seem to completely disregard about 90% of their back catalogue now. Nothing from Revelations, nothing from Fire Dances, nothing from Brighter, nothing from Extremities (I never really liked Extremities era, but Termite Mound was great live), nothing from OTG (cough....), nothing from Democracy....
 
It would be good if they'd throw in a couple of curve-balls now and again though, Darkness Before Dawn, Song and Dance, The Hum, Twilight of the Mortals, Kings and Queens, Pandys, the full rap version of Stay One Jump Ahead....
 
(ok strike that last one...)

Im not complaining, its great that they are still touring and are still sounding so good live, but do they absolutely have to play Wardance/Pssyche/Requiem et al. at every single gig? A bit of variety from the back catalogue wouldn't go amis.
 
Good to hear that the gigs are going down well over the pond.

I know Youth didn't play on the album, but would it KILL the band to play a track off of FIRE DANCES? Youth didn't play on NIGHTTIME and they still do "Love Like Blood" and "Eighties."

Same here.
Though I'm not thrilled by that setlist (30 fuckin' years[32+!!]of work and that's what they choose??) I will prolly go see them because I am getting the impression this will be the last time we will see them Live.

Alex,
 
 
That will be us too when they play LA. Just enough time for a pee and a drink plus  maybe a smoke too if we are lucky. ;) HA!
